SoCal rocker's Lit are organizing an all star auction to raise funds to cover medical expenses incurred by their drummer Allen Shellenberger, who was diagnosed with a grade 4 malignant brain tumor in May of this year.

Items on sale include Les Paul guitars signed by Sugar Ray and Staind, an amplifier autographed by members of No Doubt, Sugar Ray and Lit, a guitar lesson with Grammy-award winning axeman Steve Vai, a drum lesson with top session player Mike Levesque, a custom tattoo session by Aces High, and a chance to chop off Lit guitarist Jeremy Popoff's goatee. Also among the 168 lots on Ebay's virtual auction block are items donated by Queens of the Stone Age, Linkin Park, Stewart Copeland (The Police), Aerosmith, Buckcherry, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Disturbed, The Offspring, Kathy Griffin and Pierce Brosnan.

Allen has malignant glioma, the same highly lethal form of cancer that Senator Edward M. Kennedy is currently battling. Despite having health insurance, Allen, who enjoyed multi-platinum success with his band, is now dealing with heinous bills for treatment and expenses not covered by his plan, hence the need for the fundraiser. (If you think our health care crisis won't affect you, think again, clearly even rock stars aren't immune.)

The auction is sponsored by The Make A Noise Foundation, and has been organized in association with Ebay's Giving Works Program. All proceeds will benefit Allen and Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Neurosugical Institute in Los Angeles.
